On 23 May, celebrities from the pub and bar industry met to celebrate excellence in their field at The National Pub and Bar Awards.

Having already been awarded the Best Pub in East Sussex, the management and staff of The Bell were delighted to receive the Regional Pub of the Year for the South East.

Howard Canning, General Manager of The Bell who received the Award with Pippa Alfille, said: “We are over the moon. The Bell is far from a conventional local, we have high ambitions and this award recognises the hard work our team put in to achieving them.”
